.Nicklaus would have chewed this lot up and spat them out for breakfast, Something Woods is no longer capable of doing. And REMEMBER, he's not up against Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper, Hale Irwin etc. All true greats of the game that can't be mentioned in the same breath as nineteen of the above. Time to wake up and smell the coffee, Nicklaus is the greatest ever.The following April, Woods won his first golf major, The Masters, by a record margin of 12 strokes, became the youngest Masters winner"
"He won another three PGA Tour events that year, and on June 15, 1997, in only his 42nd week as a professional, rose to number one in the Official World Golf Rankings, the fastest ever ascent to world No. 1"
At 24 he became the youngest golfer to achieve the Career Grand Slam.His 2001 Masters win marked the only time within the era of the modern "grand slam" that any player has been the holder of all four major championship titles at the same time, a feat now known as the "Tiger Slam".
With his victory at the 2006 WGC-American Express Championship, he became the first player in PGA Tour history to win at least eight times in three season.
His victory in the Buick Invitational in January 2007 placed him 2nd for the longest PGA Tour win streak at 7 straight. Only Byron Nelson's streak of 11 wins in 1945 is longer.
At the 2003 TOUR Championship, it was widely reported in the print media that he set "an all-time record for most consecutive cuts, starting in 1998, with 114 (passing Byron Nelson's previous record of 113) and that he extended this mark to 142 before it ended on May 13, 2005 at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. Many consider this to be one of the most remarkable golf accomplishments of all time, given the margin by which he broke the old record (and against stronger fields in terms of depth than those in Nelson's day) and given that during the streak, the next longest streak by any other player was usually only in the 10s or 20s
How old is Tiger 30/31 and he already compares more than favorably with Jack and still has at least 10 years at the top of the game. I
cannot remember the exact figures but Tiger completed his 50th PGA win in a fraction of the amount of tournaments it took Jack. As I have already said the 18 majors is Jack's only remaining record and it's when not if he breaks that......"
